G'Day all,
Have always tried to keep a nice lawn and plants whilst leading a busy corporate life, then several months back the wife wanted to plant some sunflowers...why not I said. That then started the discussion, "Lets grow some herbs" which then led to maybe some strawberries and before I knew it I was putting up raised beds in the back yard, planting corn, toms, cues, strawberries etc....what a slippery slope I've stepped on to with plans now to expand further in the new year.
Got to admit I didn't think I'd enjoy the process so much....plus the learning experience that comes with growing your own food.
Anyhoo, when starting out on this journey I was looking for info on "do's and don'ts" can came across Mark's Youtube channel. Really good info and advice in the short vids which has been very handy. Find myself looking for new vids each week.
Here's a few pics of the garden beds so far which have been in for under two months. Still much to learn and plenty of rookie mistakes to make.
Best wishes and Merry Xmas all.
